Battery Life A single charge lasts up to two months with wireless off based upon a half-hour of daily reading time. If you read for one hour a day, you will get battery life of up to one month. Keep wireless always on and it lasts for up to 3 weeks. Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as shopping the Kindle Store, web browsing, and downloading content.
True, but still misleading. Since battery life on e-ink devices is determined mostly by number of page turns and less by reading time I still can't use that number to make any kind of conclusion based on my reading habits, or use the number to compare to other devices.

And that info is rather hard to find on Amazon's poorly formated wall of text-and-pictures that is the Kindle product page.
